When Christ shall come in His glory, the wicked cannot endure to behold Him. The light of His presence, which is life to those who love Him, is death to the ungodly. The expectation of His coming is to them a "fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation." Hebrews 10:27. When He shall appear, they will pray to be hidden from the face of Him who died to redeem them. | |
Med Mesteren på bjerget kapitel 2. 32. Fra side 26 i den engelske udgave. | tilbage |
Når Kristus kommer i sin herlighed, kan de ugudelige ikke holde ud at se ham. Hans ansigts lys, der er liv for dem, som elsker ham, er døden for de gudløse. Forventningen om hans komme er for disse »en frygtelig forventning om dom og en nidkærhedsbrand.« (Hebr. 10,27). Når han åbenbares, vil de bede om at blive skjult for hans ansigt, der døde for at genløse dem. |
